SOFT6008 DWEB2 Class 11 & 12

Students worked on extending the slot machine example.

SOFT6007 DWEB1 Class 11 & 12

Students worked on the two image map exercises

SOFT6008 COM2-B Class 10

Students worked on extending the slot machine example

SOFT6007 DWEB/ITM Class 09



I spoke a bit about Erasmus and the Free Choice module.

We looked at coding Image Maps in HTML.

I gave students print outs and they made a start on the first of two image map exercises.

SOFT6008 DWEB1 Class 10

I asked students to extend the slot machine example I gave them.

When that's done students can start working on coding the credit card code.

Dropbox cloud storage

If you work from home also then Dropbox is a great way to move your work around. It's also useful for sharing file if you are working on projects with other students.

Click here to sign-up. Better still ask a friend who has already signed up to invite you. They will get a bonus for signing you up.

SOFT6007 DWEB1 Class 09

A few students were still not done with the nested list exercise.

I asked the other students to watch the Image Map lesson online.

SOFT6008 COM1-A Class 10 & 11

Some students had some catching up to do. Students should prioritize the rollover exercise. Getting to grips with the DOM is very important.

I asked students to start coding the Luhn credit card check digit algorithm.

SOFT6008 Class 09



We began our look a user input validation and check digits

Here's an online less covering some of the same material

SOFT6008 COM2-B Class 07 & 08

I asked students to code the change maker exercise and to get a rollover working.

SOFT6007 DNET1/COM1c Change of Lecturer

From Week 03 SOFT6007 for DNET1/COM1c will be taught by Dr. Micheala Heyer. So I won't be darkening your door again for some time.

It's been a pleasure doing business with you. Good Luck

SOFT6007 DNET Class 08

I checked that students had the nested list done correctly. I let students leave early once it was done.

SOFT6008 DWEB2/COM2 Class 08



We looked at the DOM and how getElementById can be used to reference elements in a page.

We revisited the rollover example using getElementById, and looks at tossing two coins, and extended that to a slot machine.

I asked students to think about coding a slot machine in the lab classes next week.

[I was very tired today. Not a great class.]


SOFT6007 Preview



Next week we will look at how to code Image Maps in HTML

Students keen to get coding can use these images:

SOFT6007 COM1 Classes 07 & 08

Students continued working on the nested list exercise. A number of students were behind schedule because they missed classes earlier in the week.

I asked students who were finished to take a look at the preview of next week's work, when we will look at Image maps.



But it wasn't as exciting as the cool fire safety demonstration outside the window.

SOFT6007 ITM1 Class 08

I knew I was going to to be late so I e-mailed students asking them to take a look at this online class if they were finished the nested list exercise (most were). We will look at Image Maps next week.

SOFT6007 ITM1 Class 06 & 07

I asked students to code the nested list we saw in class. Some students found that tricky enough, but it's a very useful exercise. HTML is all about the structure.

SOFT6007 COM1 Class 06

I asked students to code the nested list we looked at in class. That might take more than one hour. So we will continue with that the next class.

SOFT6008 DWEB2 Classes 06 & 07

I asked students to work on the change maker exercise and to code a rollover. It was slow going. JavaScript is not very forgiving.

SOFT6007 DNET Class 06 & 07

Students coded the nested list exercise we did in class. Many students found this tough going. While lists are not very important, this exercise illustrates the structure of HTML.
